    My chickens refuse to eat yogurt...

    my chickens don't like yogurt either...I've tried mixing in chicken crumbles, chick mash, bulgar wheat, rice, raisins, and they try one bite, and then start trying to shake/wipe it all off their beaks as fast as they can. I wondered if emptying some acidophilus capsules into their feed would...

    HELP! my chicken has diahrrea, bad breath, runny beak, drool

    About a week and a half ago I bought a 4 month Old English Bantam hen. She has had very liquidy poos a couple of times since she came home, but since she was behaving normally otherwise I figured that it was probably from eating things she wasn't used to. Also, after the runny poos she has had...

    One of the best songs ever (and the link to listen online)!!!

    coop concerns, ventilation, etc.

    My boyfriend and I have been building our chicken coop, and before we go so far forward that we will have to take it apart to change anything I wanted to get some advice from the experts (or is that eggsperts??...sorry, puns are one of my favorite things, even bad ones) ***ahem***Anyway, as I...

    Getting flack for killing our meaties -- and need some reassurance!

    I am one of the most squimish people when it comes to food...if my food reminds me that it is something dead, I have a very difficult time eating it, so for me, killing my own meat is right out! But I think I am the weirdo in this regard, not you...It seems to me that you have a really well...

    hello from Richmond, CA.

    Quote: I didn't see this until after I had already put them all together.... I will keep an eye on all of them, what sorts of symptoms would they exhibit if there were a problem? Also, I am a bit distressed about how my first two are treating the new one...they are being kind of mean to her...

    hello from Richmond, CA.

    I'm so glad I get to join your poultry party!

I'm not really sure when I decided that I wanted to own chickens, but I...
